Researchers from the University of Maastricht organized a unique experiment, with the help of which they could dispel the myth of the positive effect of an ice bath on the restoration and muscle building in humans.

Many doctors and specialists say that cold water procedures reduce pain after exercise. This method involves staying in cold water for ten to fifteen minutes..

In addition, many experts in the scientific field were confident that cold baths help reduce inflammation in the body after sports training..

However, the authors of the work decided to refute this statement to the smithereens: they organized a study in which volunteers after training immersed one limb in ice water.

This helped to establish that this type of procedure does not in any way affect pain relief or accelerate muscle growth.. Moreover, a person has several times increased risk of hypothermia, which leads to health problems.
